Narrative:

Pax brought a stuffed animal to the aft and explained that the battery pack was hot. I turned it over and looked and I saw that the battery and it's case were melting. At this time [another flight attendant] happened to be walking back with trash. I told her to grab me the bcb (battery containment bag). I called the pilots immediately. We put the stuffed animal in and followed protocol via the manual. I didn't feel safe landing with the bcb at my feet. So I put it in the lav. We landed with the bcb with suspect device in the aft lav. When we landed the captain came and took the bcb with the suspect device off of the aircraft. At this point the captain made calls and said it was okay to take the suspect device out and return to the owner who wanted it back. They were very happy to get it back and I said to be careful and remove the battery pack from the stuffed animal. In the future I think we need more information on the procedure with the bcb. This doesn't happen often; but when it does we need to know what to do with the after math so everyone is not confused.

Title: E-175 Flight Attendants reported the Battery Containment Bag (BCB) procedures are in need of additional information regarding the handling and disposition of BCB after landing. This BCB procedures deficiency became apparent after dealing with an electronic device's hot battery.
